180: Southern Treasure House

Lin Tianwei's speed once again experienced a burst.

Twice his limit speed would allow him to reach the Southern Treasury in two minutes.

He would even have time for Legisamon to easily open the Treasury for him.

Allowing him to obtain all the resources within the Treasury.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei grew excited.

Unleashing such terrifying speed naturally came with some burden for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have held back from using it initially.

However, a burst of only a few minutes was inconsequential.

At most, he would suffer some minor injuries.

Under the combined effect of the Power of Life and the Power of Nature, these minor injuries would recover in mere minutes.

However, Lin Tianwei's sudden acceleration was a torment for Legisamon, who was bound to his tail.

His speed doubled again?

The already terrifying Wind Blade became even more horrifying, its lethality reaching an extreme.

His physique simply couldn't withstand it; he instantly became a bloody mess, on the verge of death.

Even so, Legisamon did not give up hope of living.

His hands tightly covered Eliseo's right eye.

This was perhaps the only thing Lin Tianwei cared about.

Only by protecting this could he have hope of survival.

However, Legisamon ultimately overestimated his own strength.

Even as a powerful Esper ranked among the top forty-seven in America.

He still couldn't endure the fierce winds generated by Lin Tianwei's running.

Being on the verge of death quickly turned into extreme weakness.

He was nearing the brink of death.

Lin Tianwei naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Legisamon die like that.

Losing the key would make opening the door a slightly more troublesome matter for him.

Not only that, but he also needed Legisamon.

Who said his goal could only be one Treasury?

East, West, South, North?

Four Treasuries?

If he had the time and opportunity, he would definitely visit them one by one.

Consider it interest for Las City daring to attack the farm.

With a thought, just as Legisamon was about to collapse, a white light emanated from Lin Tianwei's body.

As if an endless stream of vitality began to pour into Legisamon's body.

In an instant, it stabilized his injuries.

His wounds even showed a faint tendency to heal.

This was not enough.

Mental Power burst!

A tailor-made protective shield unfurled around Legisamon, blocking the terrifying fierce winds around him.

In an instant, Legisamon was transported from a stormy environment into an absolutely safe haven.

Legisamon was overjoyed at this sight.

He had indeed made the correct choice.

Without time to tend to his own wounds, Legisamon loudly praised him:

"Thank you, Lord Tiger King, for your generous assistance."

"Your benevolence, like the warm sun, illuminates my entire world."

"..."

This excellent flattery technique was comparable to Ouro's.

It was completely unexpected that Legisamon was actually a powerful physical Esper.

Lin Tianwei had no idea that before Legisamon became Eliseo's bodyguard, he was a devout believer.

Saying these words was simply part of his daily routine.

However, as his power gradually grew, he no longer needed to flatter others.

Naturally, he had hidden this skill.

Yet, it experienced a resurgence at this moment, as he frantically expressed his devotion to Lin Tianwei.

Anyone unaware would have thought he was a devout follower who had believed in Lin Tianwei for many years... Lin Tianwei's sudden acceleration was clearly beyond everyone's expectations.

Because even Lin Tianwei's speed before accelerating was already exaggerated to the extreme.

It was even faster than all known large Awakened Beasts.

Yet, such terrifying speed could still experience another burst.

And it was a full two-fold burst, causing Etna, who was responsible for observation, to freeze in place and murmur:

"How is this possible?"

"How can the Tiger King's speed be so fast?"

"This level of speed shouldn't appear on such a colossal creature."

"This is completely unscientific!"

This was the nth time Etna had exclaimed "unscientific" today.

Lin Tianwei seemed to be a creature that existed to defy common sense.

Again and again, he refreshed his worldview.

Double the speed also meant a faster arrival time.

Four minutes became two minutes.

In other words, the time MacArthur originally thought was more than enough became insufficient.

Although this situation was regrettable, all Etna could do was report it to MacArthur.

Bang.

The immense force caused MacArthur to directly smash the exquisite wooden table in front of him.

When he saw Lin Tianwei begin to accelerate, he might have still held a glimmer of hope.

Thinking that Lin Tianwei's speed might be fast, but he definitely wouldn't make it to Las City's Southern Treasury in time.

However, after Etna's data came out and was clearly laid before his eyes, he was speechless.

One minute.

Just one minute left, they absolutely had to hold this place!

The countless resources in the Treasury belonged to him, to Las City, and to all of America.

Thinking of this, MacArthur quickly issued orders.

He began to arrange and deploy defenses for the Southern Treasury.

As a Treasury, this place was inherently heavily guarded.

If it weren't for Lin Tianwei's terrifying strength, MacArthur might even have thought he didn't need to bother.

A normal person simply couldn't break through here.

Even if they held the key.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Legisamon, hanging from Lin Tianwei's tail, had even begun to enjoy the feeling of flying at such speed.

At the same time, he gained a deeper appreciation for Lin Tianwei's strength.

He was completely awestruck.

Such immense power, it was hard to imagine that he was the same kind of creature as himself.

Perhaps this wasn't a crisis for him, but rather an opportunity!

Thinking of this, Legisamon silently made a decision in his heart.

Two minutes, though seemingly long, passed in a mere blink of an eye with the surrounding scenery rapidly receding.

Looking at the familiar land before him, Legisamon spoke: "Respected Lord Tiger King, the Southern Treasury is right here."

"It's at the bottom of this building."

At this point, Legisamon cleared his throat and said: "Why aren't you getting lost?"

"This is Lord Tiger King in person."

"The benevolent Lord Tiger King has decided to spare your lives, on the condition that you do not bring harm upon yourselves."

Facing the dense, terrifying military force before him.

A formidable force capable of instantly annihilating him.

Legisamon showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, he loudly reprimanded the other side not to seek their own demise, embodying the phrase "borrowing the Tigers Might" to its extreme.

However, Legisamon's response was a hail of bullets.

Countless bullets flew towards Lin Tianwei's location.

Heavy tanks even directly blocked the entrance to the underground, attempting to keep Lin Tianwei out.

Their goal was not to kill Lin Tianwei, but rather to buy time.

To stall until the final three minutes had passed.

Facing the enemy's stubborn resistance, Legisamon cursed: "You are truly foolish."

"Being pushed out as cannon fodder, and still so dedicated."

"Not only do you not appreciate the Tiger King's benevolence, but you also attack the Tiger King who spared you."

"In that case, all of you go to hell!"

Although Legisamon's voice was irritating to Lin Tianwei, it perfectly expressed his inner thoughts.

He was not prepared to waste his already precious time.

Since these people dared to stand in front of him and obstruct him.

Then he would show them the consequences of trying to stop him.

He would show them just how fast the Grim Reaper's scythe could harvest lives!

Lightning and thunder!

Countless electric sparks flashed across Lin Tianwei's body.

For the American forces, which relied mainly on technological equipment, electrical attacks were more effective.

The terrifying paralyzing effect alone was enough to completely incapacitate people, rendering them utterly immobile.

No matter how powerful a weapon, without a user, it was useless.

Furthermore, it could repeatedly jump, causing repeated damage to them.

The dazzling light illuminated the entire sky.

Even the observers, through their monitors, felt a sharp pain in their eyes and instinctively closed them.

However, when the light extinguished, where was Lin Tianwei's figure on the ground?

All that remained was chaos, and countless elite soldiers who didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Of course, there were also lightning chains flickering intermittently, indicating that this was not a safe place.

To save time, after unleashing the lightning and thunder, Lin Tianwei immediately raised his Claws.

The Southern Treasury was underground, beneath this high-tech building.

Given Lin Tianwei's size, it was naturally impossible for him to enter through the main entrance.

So he had only one other option: to dig a hole!

The long-unused Talent for digging was handled with ease by Lin Tianwei.

Each swing of his Tiger's Claws caused a tremor in the earth.

Bringing with it countless concrete and soil excavated.

It was hard to imagine.

The hard concrete, in front of Lin Tianwei's Claws, was not much faster than tofu to cut through.

Ten seconds!

In just ten seconds, Lin Tianwei arrived before the Southern Treasury.

He had long since known its location intimately through a dual scan of Ultrasonic Wave and Mental Power.

Naturally, he could find the entrance door at the fastest speed.

The Mental Power barrier unfurled again, forming a protective shield that blocked falling rocks from above.

It also created a path directly to the Southern Treasury's door for Legisamon.

Roar~~~~~~~~

With a single Tiger's Roar, the entire underground space instantly shook violently.

Of course, this was not Lin Tianwei's primary objective.

His main objective was to eliminate those clueless defenders.

Seemingly wasting his time?

Then they would repay it with their lives.

Such terrifying Sonic Wave attacks, confined within a narrow space.

Could reverberate continuously, stacking power and damage.

Even the guards wearing protective suits couldn't withstand it, instantly losing consciousness.

Countless kill notifications also popped up in front of Lin Tianwei.

Perhaps there were still some survivors, but to Lin Tianwei, that was completely inconsequential.

All he cared about was the massive Treasury before him.

Almost the instant they reached underground, Legisamon leaped down from mid-air.

He understood that it was now his moment to perform.

Originally, he had been somewhat concerned about the guards here.

But he hadn't expected.

Just a single Tiger's Roar had completely cleared the area.

Lin Tianwei's destructive power was evident.

It was precisely this terrifying display that further solidified Legisamon's Awakening.

Two minutes and twenty seconds!

There were still a full forty seconds until the three-minute mark.

Legisamon opened his eyes, revealing Eliseo's right eye.

A quick verification at the unlock point immediately prompted for a password.

The Southern Treasury's key consisted of Eliseo's right eye and an eighteen-digit password.

Neither could be missing.

However, Eliseo's password clearly couldn't be hidden from Legisamon, his personal bodyguard.

Even though he was incredibly cautious every time.

But he still underestimated the abilities of an Esper.

Discerning location by sound was merely a basic skill.

This was why Etna and MacArthur didn't even mention the password lock.

Because for Legisamon, it was completely useless.

Two minutes and twenty-five seconds!

The Southern Treasury's door then opened.

Revealing the treasures hidden within.

Even without the illumination of lights, it still emitted a terrifying allure.

Capturing everyone's attention.

Ismail, in particular, quickly sensed around the Southern Treasury and indeed found what she was looking for.

The thing she had been dreaming of!

Ismail, feeling an itch in her heart, cursed loudly:

"That thing, that thing is indeed in the hands of that good-for-nothing Eliseo."

"He couldn't protect it himself, yet he conveniently gave it to an outsider. It's utterly ridiculous."

"I just hope Tiger King doesn't recognize its value and leaves this treasure behind."

"Or perhaps discards it, allowing me to find an opportunity to swap it."

However, she immediately lost sight of the Southern Treasury completely.

Wanting to spy on Lin Tianwei's whereabouts?

If it weren't for the element of surprise just now, it would have been utterly impossible.

The moment Lin Tianwei noticed, he directly destroyed Ismail's monitor.

With a light press, he turned on the Southern Treasury's lights.

The power source here was also a trap.

A very concealed trap.

It was actually a small fingerprint scanner that could identify the user's fingerprint.

Under normal circumstances, pressing the power switch would turn on the Southern Treasury's lights normally.

But it would secretly send an alarm, notifying the guardians here.

In less than a minute, this place would be completely surrounded by a large army, leaving no chance of escape.

Of course, this was only for general situations.

With Lin Tianwei present, Legisamon didn't believe anyone could catch him.

Nor did he believe anyone would dare to come down and seek death.

Thinking of this, he made a gesture of invitation and said to Lin Tianwei, "Lord Tiger King, your Southern Treasury has been opened."

"Now you can freely choose what you need."

"To be honest, I don't know much about this Southern Treasury, so I can't offer Lord Tiger King many suggestions."

"Please forgive me."

After speaking, Legisamon very consciously retreated to the corner.

Everything here belonged to Lin Tianwei; even an extra glance was a desecration.

Perhaps to showcase the Southern Treasury's high-end, magnificent, and classy nature.

The door here was very large.

Even Lin Tianwei's enormous body could easily pass through.

In just an instant, Lin Tianwei entered the Southern Treasury.

Everywhere were exquisite display stands, showcasing various treasures Eliseo had obtained through different channels.

From weapons to equipment, from heavenly materials to earthly treasures, everything was available, making Lin Tianwei's eyes light up.

Even the "trash" simply piled on the ground looked very good.

Each contained powerful energy, clearly not ordinary items.

Saliva began to secrete.

Aside from weapons and equipment, which were mostly useless to Lin Tianwei, what Lin Tianwei valued were undoubtedly the heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

They were displayed in various forms throughout the Southern Treasury.

They varied in shape, emitting unique and exotic fragrances, tempting Lin Tianwei to taste them.

Although Lin Tianwei didn't recognize these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, eating them indiscriminately might cause problems.

But it didn't matter.

Lin Tianwei's terrifying Danger Perception Talent once again proved effective.

As long as it wasn't dangerous, Lin Tianwei swallowed everything.

He believed that his incredibly terrifying digestive ability would surely thoroughly digest these heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Sure enough, after swallowing the first treasure, similar to a Ganoderma lucidum.

Lin Tianwei felt a warm current spread throughout his body from his abdomen, nourishing his body.

Nourishing his body, which had consumed a large amount of physical strength during this operation.

His Mental Power was even more invigorated.

Good stuff!

Lin Tianwei no longer wasted time and began to feast in the Southern Treasury.

Countless treasures cherished by Eliseo.

Things he usually couldn't bear to eat were being devoured by Lin Tianwei one by one, much to his delight.

Lin Tianwei's massive Claws began to exert force, and soon he had eaten all the treasures here.

Most of what remained were things that made Lin Tianwei feel a slight sense of danger.

These items were mainly characterized by their strangeness and inexplicability.

Completely consistent with the diversity and strangeness of Awakened Beasts.

Even Lin Tianwei didn't dare to eat them indiscriminately.

Dying was impossible.

But if they hid within his body and backstabbed him at a critical moment, that would be the real trouble.

It must be said that the Southern Treasury was indeed extremely rich.

Even with Lin Tianwei's enormous appetite, he still ate until he was about seventy percent full.

His entire body felt warm and very comfortable.

Since that's the case, then on to the next stop!

But before that, there was one more thing to do.

"You can take any of the trash here freely."

This was said to Legisamon, considered a reward for him.

At the same time, Lin Tianwei's body began to approach the Southern Treasury's wall.

Because under the dual perception of Ultrasonic Wave and Mental Power, he discovered something hidden here.

A hidden compartment.

Inside it was a tiny box.

The material of the hidden compartment was special, seemingly designed specifically for concealment.

It had the ability to shield against Mental Power detection and Ultrasonic Wave detection.

If it weren't for Lin Tianwei's terrifying strength, which completely exceeded the hidden compartment's shielding limit.

Otherwise, this hidden compartment would truly not have been discovered.

Although he didn't know what was inside the hidden compartment.

But something hidden was absolutely a good thing.

Lin Tianwei, deeply understanding this principle, didn't hesitate and directly struck the hidden compartment with a Claw.

A move like Tigers Might, directly prying out this entire piece of iron plate.

He so simply obtained the entire hidden compartment, and the things hidden within it.

As for what was actually inside the hidden compartment?

Now was clearly not a good time to look.

Directly stuffing the hidden compartment into his teeth, Lin Tianwei planned to study it carefully after returning.

If Ismail knew that Lin Tianwei had obtained the contents of the hidden compartment so easily, she would definitely be greatly surprised.

This hidden compartment was the masterpiece of Lutfa, the strongest mechanic.

It contained a full three hundred and sixty-five complex procedures.

Used to hide crucial treasures.

If she hadn't seen Lutfa's mark on the wall, Ismail wouldn't have been so sure that what she needed was here.

Under normal circumstances, opening this hidden compartment required very tedious procedures.

A full three hundred and sixty-five steps, corresponding one by one, were needed to unlock the mechanism here.

So tedious that even with instructions, it was very easy to make mistakes.

One wrong step?

That would directly trigger the escape device hidden within, instantly transferring this box to an even safer place.

Yet, unexpectedly, such a precise mechanism was directly suppressed by Lin Tianwei's brute force, like a scholar encountering a soldier.

You're strong?

You're complicated?

Then I'll just cut off your roots!

Lin Tianwei's operation was also a lucky hit.

Directly prying out this piece of superalloy iron plate naturally meant there was no need to worry about any teleportation device.

The precise teleportation device didn't even have time to trigger before it completely lost its target to teleport.

However, Lin Tianwei's violent breach also triggered the Southern Treasury's alarm system.

The door began to loosen slightly.

It actually intended to close, directly locking one person and one tiger inside.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei once again tied up Legisamon, and carrying him, who was beyond his control, left the Southern Treasury.

The Southern Treasury's door was thick enough.

Although Lin Tianwei could break it open, it would consume a lot of physical strength, which was completely not worth it.

And Legisamon was still in a state of bewilderment at this moment.

There were simply too many things in the Southern Treasury, so many that it made him dizzy trying to choose.

However, before he could decide what to take, he heard the heavy sound of the Southern Treasury's door about to close.

Immediately after, his vision blurred, and he found himself once again tied up by Lin Tianwei and brought outside.

Only a moderately decent battle armor in his hand barely counted as his gain for the day.

At this, Legisamon was practically on the verge of tears.

This feeling of almost returning empty-handed from a treasure mountain nearly made him collapse.

If he didn't know that now wasn't the time to vent, he would have even roared a few times to show his anger.

It was also at this moment that a dull thud echoed in Legisamon's ears.

The Southern Treasury's door closed again.

Only this time, even Eliseo's eyeball could not open this door.

Legisamon only then felt a wave of lingering fear in his heart.

A little later.

A little later, perhaps he would have met his end inside.

Compared to that, although he only obtained one piece of battle armor, being alive was the most fortunate thing.

Thinking of this, he adjusted his mindset and said, "Merciful Lord Tiger King."

"Inspired by you, I have seen the error of my ways and know that you are the true messenger of justice."

"I hope to join your farm and contribute my strength to world peace."

"Please do not despise me, who was once blinded by ignorance, and allow me to join your farm."

Messenger of justice?

That was truly a cold joke.

However, since Legisamon was willing to surrender, Lin Tianwei would not refuse.

He immediately replied, "You may."

"But before that, there's one more thing to do!"

Thank you all for your rewards, monthly votes, and recommendation tickets!
